HYDROCARBON-BURNER.

Specification of Letters Patent.

Application filed November 13, 1808.

Serial No. 462,356. I

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, CLARE M. Bonn, a citizen of the United States, residing at Dallas, in the county of Dallas and State or" Texas, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Hydrocarbon-Burners, of-

which the following is a specification.

My invention relates to new and useful improvements in hydrocarbon burners.

The object of the invention is to provide a burner constructed to cause a complete combustion, a more intense heat, and o obviate to a marked degree, thenoise occasioned by the down draft and the combus- Finally the object of the invention is to provide a device of the character described that will be strong, durable, efiicient and simple and comparatively inexpensive to construct, also one in which the several parts will not be liable to get out of working order.

With the above and other objects in view, my invention has particular relation to certain novel features of construction andoperation, an example of which is described in the following specification and illustrated in the accompanying drawings, wherein:

Figure l is a vertical section showing my burner. and Fig. 2 is a vertical. section of'a modified form of bowl and drip stool, Fig. 3' is an elevation of a modified form of bowl, :1 portion being broken away to show the interior, and Fig. i 'is a. partial vertical section showing another form.

In the drawings, the numeral 1 designates a cylindrical shell closed at its bottom and lower portion and having an escape opening or outlet 2 at one side of its upper end. It is to be understood that while I have shown my invention in connection with an ordinary stove shell, it may be used with various kinds of stoves, furnaces and heaters.

The shell is closed at its upper end by a top 3 from the center of which a down draft and feed tube 4. depends. This tube terminates some distance above the bottom of the shell. A faucet or other cut-off 5 arranged on the end of a pipe -3, having. connection with suitable means (not shown) for supplying a suitable oii, is disposed over the center or the tube so that the oil will drop through the same without touching the inner walls thereof.

I ignited, combust.

To prevent oil from being thrown into contact with the walls of the tube by the having feet 9 supporting it above the bottom of the shell, is arranged in concentric relation to the tube. The bowl may vary in shape as for instance the bowl 8 having a fiat bottom and upwardly diverging side walls 10 may be used or the bowl may be rounded as shown at 11 in Fig. 2.

In the center of the bowl beneath the lower endof the tube, a drip stool 12 is arranged. The drops of oil passing through the opening 7 strike on the top of the stool and being Should the oil be deflected upon striking it will be retained in the bowl by the sides'thereof and ignited therein thus concentrating the generation of heat: and preventing an undue spreading of the flame caused by ignition of the oil.

The stool is supported above the bottom of the bowl on legs 13- and secured in place by a bolt 14 passing through the bottom of i the bowl. The stool is cutout and supported above the bottom of the bowl to aflord a free circulation of the air and gases. It is understood that after the stool becomes heated, the oil upon striking the same will be converted into a gas or vapor. This is due to the proper admission of air down tihrgfugh the tube a which provides a .down

ra t.

Any oil striking on the stool and not being vaporized, will pass down the same to the bottom of the bowl. Such oil however, will be immediately vaporized or consumed, owingl to the flow of the air currents beneat the stool. In this way all of the fuel is com sumed and ignited in the bowl so that no smoke or unburned gases rise out of the bowl. It is evident that an intense heat is created and the products of combustion after being Q spread upward into the shell from the bow pass through the outlet 2 to their destination. However, the intense heat created within the shell may be utilized as desired is cientfor cooking and all of h and generating purposes:

Thedrip stool may be made in /2 i shapes, two examples of which 7 Figs. 1 and 3 and Fig. 2. A clean-out door 15 is arranged at the lower side of the shell as is shown in. Fi 1;

In Fig. 3 I have Shown a form of how which has been found to produce better re sults where it is desired to burn-a low fire or use a very heavy oil. The bowl curved inwardly at its upper end 16 receiving at its center the lower contractee end 17 of the tube 4. plurality of escape openings are pro vided. This form of bowl a tendency to collect or direct the ends oi he ton 'ues of the flame toward the center and t insure a complete combustion.-

I Wish to call attention to the fact t" bowl 8 is a separate and distinc o has t the bottom of the shell although t mai secured to the bottom, but it is ZYiELfElfijiG to 5 arrange the bowl so that it may be facilitate cleaning or replacing. 1 construct the bowl with its ter considerably smaller the e ameter of the shell so'es 0 pi 'VliE v siderable space between he Walls of bowl and tlieshell.

In Fig. 1 I have shown still another form comprising a shallow bow in the drip stool is mounted. The contracted d 17 of the tube 4 has connection with an an nular and downwardly flared spreader 21 extending beyond the bowl and suppostetl. on legs 22.
